OKD 4.19 stable and 4.20 ec have released

We’re excited to announce that OKD 4.19.0-scos.0 has been officially promoted to the stable release channel!

You can view the release payload here: 4.19.0-okd-scos.0 and compare the differences with the last stable 4.18 release.

A few significant highlights of this release include:

• Bootimages and node images are now based on Centos stream CoreOS (scos)
• Bootimages are available publicly at: https://cloud.centos.org/centos/scos/9/prod/streams/
• Baremetal installs, assisted and agent based installs work seamlessly now that bootimages have been transitioned to scos
• Upgrade edges have been added from previous stable release to the new release

Alongside this stable release, we’re also publishing a development preview of the next version: 4.20.0-okd-scos.ec.0 – now available on the 4-scos-next channel for early testing and feedback.

We encourage users and contributors to test the new releases and share feedback via the OKD community channels. Stay tuned for more updates!
